The training Wayne has given these guys has been very beneficial to getting them to a standard, that enables us to get them working productively within a short period of time. As we struggle to have proper one on one tutoring onsite, the few days Wayne has given them gets these guys a few months ahead in skill base where by to get them to this level without extra training takes a great longer. Very pleased with the results.
Steven (Team Leader)

Many thanks to Wayne, have really enjoyed the experience he has given us. I know a lot more techniques to produce good quality work, such as stances and basic relaxation of the body. Once again thanks Wayne, an awesome tutor to have in this industry.

Wayne has been an excellent teacher. I have learnt a lot in the time he had with us. This has most definitely been worth while doing. A lot of great skills learnt.
Kevin

Training from Wayne has been easy to understand, and shown the theory and practical in different aspects of welding has been great. I have learnt new forms of welding with tig, dual tig and different positions which has improved my overall skill base. Great guy to learn from.
Mark
Hamilton
Training provided has allowed NDA to employ individuals with lower skill levels in welding that we may not have considered for rolls in the past due to cost associated with on the job training. Will look at using this service in future for new apprentices and semi skilled employees.
Matthew (Workshop Manager)

I found the training very successful in a way were I am definitely a more confident welder. I have learnt quality skills in tig, Mig and stick welding that will help me towards a bright future at NDA. I felt the teaching method was done well and the information will stay with me. The trainer Wayne was easy to work with and gets along with everybody, making the training time enjoyable.

Very informative, teacher was very knowledgeable on the subject, not just from a teaching perspective but also personal experience.
Tim
Hamilton
Excellent tutor knew a lot about what we were being taught. Wayne also knew how to apply/teach is in a practical way that backed up the theory well. I feel I have learnt a lot and developed skills and theory that I personally don't think many people could teach in the time frame of just under a week. I'm personally very very happy with my tig welding skills that I have learnt over the week.
Andrew

I have found the training from Wayne to be very helpful. Wayne's knowledge of welding and polishing has helped me to learn in the correct way. I also really appreciated his knowledge and experience at NDA he taught us not only the practical skills but also gave us some key advice about what to expect in the workshops. His teaching methods are really easy and straight forward to understand. He expects high quality and pushes you to do your best. Cheers Wayne I've learnt heaps.
Max
Hamilton
Thanks Wayne for the training, being a first time welder and not knowing what a TIG, Stick or MIG welder even looked like, I definitely know now and feel confident in what I have learnt over the time we have had together. The training was very helpful not only about welding but safety, attitude and general conduct around a workplace like NDA cheers for all your help.
